Ahmad Bradshaw still out of practice for Giants

Michael Heiman/Getty ImagesGiants running back Ahmad Bradshaw is out of practice for the second straight day with an ankle injury suffered on Sunday against the Bears.

Ahmad Bradshaw said he'd be back to practice on Thursday.

He was wrong.

The Giants' running back remains out of action with an ankle injury suffered in Sunday's victory over the Bears. Bradshaw wasn't on the field until the end of the portion open to the media, when he walked out of the team's facility carrying his helmet but wearing no shoulder pads. Coach Tom Coughlin will update his status at the end of practice.

On the other hand, C Adam Koets (knee) and S Kenny Phillips were both back to work as they had promised. It's unclear yet whether they'll practice fully. Also back in action was DE Osi Umenyiora (knee).

Also, as of now the Giants say they have not signed OL Guy Whimper, who was in for a workout this morning. The team hasn't confirmed Whimper was here nor have they said whether they will sign him by the end of the day. My sense is he's still in the area, though, and is awaiting word of whether he'll sign. The most interesting part of this scenario is which player will be cut or placed on injured reserve to make room for Whimper.
